Answer

SCENE

This word comes from the Latin 'scaena' and Greek 'skene,' originally referring to the stage or backdrop in ancient theater. Today it describes a place where action occurs, a subdivision of an act in a play, or the view of a place. It can also describe a public display of emotion, as in 'making a scene.'

Strategy Tip

When you know a word has repeated letters, try to identify which letter appears twice early in your guessing. Words with double E are quite common in English, so if you see one E confirmed, consider whether a second E might be hiding.
